Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 160 grams shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade coconut cookies with a cup of coffee or tea!
